- Lynn Old Whig.'

A story of southern politics was picked up
at Thomasv.ne by Mr. Van Zandt. a poll
tician who was running for Office desired to
secure the negro vote and had bought up
colored preacher who agreed for SIS to make
an address TO his congregation in favor of the
candidate. The politician said TO the clergy
man: Il think the best way for you to innu-
ence your people is to let them understand
that | am neithera Democrat nor Republican,
but an old line Wing. 1t is best 10 break ~
the feeling that exists between Democrats
and Republicans and start out on the new
line, and this is just as good a time as any 70
do it," When the clergyman got up in his
pulpit and began talking 10 his audience he
followed the advice of the politician in this
manner: my dear bredren, you are MT to
pronounce upon Massa Blank for dc sins of
omission or commission by eder de Demo
cratic or Republican party. Massa Blank am
neder Democrat or Republican. He is
simply lynn old Whig"-When the poll
tician heard Of it he tore his hair.

Xnudnnism I'm NirrIniu.

While the old shareholders find it difficult
to eradicate their race notions, many Of the
old colored people cherish a lingering love
and veneration for the voudooism Of Africa,
and just now we have one of its high priests
or obi-men here. He is said to practice his
incantations just across the river in Viz
ginia, where he processes 10 relieve pain, cur
ing the sick, giving information concerning
stolen property and insuring affection, besides
other things. This he does by charms which
the colored people pay large sums for and
have great faith in them. Each obi-man has
regular circuit, and the one hereabouts,
who is tall, singular looking colored man,
is said TO have amassed a handsome fortune
in pandering TO the credulity of his ignorant
dupes Some white people are also firm be
levers in voudooism, and will engage in no
new enterprise of any description without
consulting an obi-man.-Boston Budget.

BAKING POWDERS


ANALYSES OF THE CHIEF BRANDS OF THE COUN
TRy-THEIR STRENGTH AND VALUE AsCER-
TANNED.
The Ohio State Dairy and Food Commission,
under the direction of the Legislature of that
State, has made public the result of its recent
official examination Of the baking powders of the
market As many OF the brands analyzed are
In use throughout the country, the report of the
Couamission will be found of general interest.
The startling fact is brought out by the report
that of the thirty different brands of baking pow
der analyzeti, tweaty are made from alum, a sub
stance declared by the highest medical authori-
ties to he injurious {" health when nsed in food.
The Commission classify the baking powders
into three general divisions, according to their
value:
lst. Cream of Tartar Baking Pnwders
ID. Posphate Baking Powders;
81. Alum B-king Powders.
The Commission explains that the best baking
powder is that which, the ingredients being
healthful, gives of the largest amount of leaven-
ing gas and leaves the smallest amount OF resi-
dunn In the bread. small amount of carbon
ate Of ammonia, which is considered healthful,
is used In some Of the cream OF tartar powders to
eire them higher strength. the Commission
says that alum is undoubtedly q hurttul salt.
The report ranks the powders and shows the
amoQnt 10 each of inert resultants, which in
using it would appear as residuum in the bread,

MAN.

1t was giddy, gushing girl from New
York, with an amplitude Of bang and
scarceness of vocabulary, which showed
at once her romantic tendencies. She
was travelling in a stage coach in one Of
the sparsely settled regions of the coun-
try.
ssOh p she said to her mother, / do
wonder whether we are going to make
this whole trip without even the sign of
an adventure. Wouldn't it be horrid |? -
Her mother informed her that she didn't
have common sense, but the girl didn't
seem to mind it in the least In the
course of the next hour, however, the
coach stopped suddenly and the muzzle
of pistol was showed through the door.
Sorry to trouble you, ladies, said the
man whose head followed the pistol, " but
if you've got any valnables, shem's what
we want, an we're little pressed fur

pistol and was beginning to look appre-

The large amount of inert matter or residuum
in both the phosphate and alum powders will
be noted This in the phosphate powders is
largely OF lime in the alum powders il is
chiefly alum. 1t viii be gratifying To the public
to observe that the powder in most general use,
the Royal. is also the purest. In comparing the
first two powders on the list, for insfance-the
Royal and DR.. Pricc's-the inert matter in
Price's Is seen to be about five in seven more
than In the former, difference Of II 81 per
cent, the Royal being purer than Prices by a
corresponding figure.
The carbo0ic or leavenIng gas produced by
the powders indicates their strength and their
true value may be asceftaiued by considering
the amsunt this gas in connection with their
inert matter or residuum as shown above The
higher the percentage of gas and the lower the
percentage Of residunm the better the baking pow
der. These percentages, as found in some Of the
most familiar powde are given as follows:
